The new tangle "Dewd"of Zentangle HQ is the challenge this week.
I made an a-symetric Zendala with it.
drew it with a blue Micron and shaded with colored pencils in blue and purple and a little bit of orange.

This weekend the weather was real bad in The Netherlands, lots of rain and wind.
Very good to stay in the house and draw the Zendala below.

Go Big (or go home)
We should draw big this week with a thicker pen than we are used to.
I took a red folio elastomap and drew with an identipen.
In the last newsletter of ZT HQ they introduced the new tangle Dewd, and also a variation on Bales.

"Autumn"
Celebrating Haloween is just starting the last few years in The Netherlands.
I think the younger generation is celebrating it more, it's not my thing.
That's why I choose Autumn for this challenge.
I drew with Microns in autumn colors brown and orange.

I love the tangle TINT witch is the tangle for the challenge this week.
So I have been playing with it some more and this is the result.
There is so much possible with this tangle !!!
Did I already say I love it?

I drew on a lilac tile with a purple Micron, colored with Prismacolor pencils.

Tint is the tangle we should use this week.
It's the tangle of the UMT this month, designed by Henrike Bratz.
Thank you Henrike, I love this tangle and I think I will use it much more in the future,
I drew this tile and when it was finished it reminds me of a swarm of bees.

Elefantnhaut tile drawn with a black and brown Micron, shaded with pencil and highlighted with white charcoal pencil.

The challenge is given this week by guest blogger Jane Reiter.
We should be inspired by the Petoskey stones.
I never heard of them, They are amazing!!!
I decided to draw Crazy Huggins as the basis and see how to fill it in for the challenge.
I think it was perfect to draw the Petoskey stones in it.
I am very happy with the result.

Challenge # 330
This week Zentangle plates.
A challenge from the guest Jeanette Clawson.
This was a lot of work and I enjoyed every minute of it.
I used a brown, sepia and orange Micron and colored with Albrecht Dührer watercolor pencils.

This week we received the newsletter from Zentangle HQ with the new tangle SPOKEN
I have been playing with it for quite a long time with these tiles as a result.
I drew on lilac paper, drawn with a purple and blue Micron and colored (shaded) with colored pencils.
This was so much fun to do, I love SPOKEN, so many possibilities with it.

The background I meandered with a sharp blue pencil, I hope you can see that.

The next one is SPOKEN, but only the first part of the tangle. (without the crossing over)

It gives a complete different effect.

This was so much fun, it took me several hours to make the both tiles.

Fragment D1
Is the Challenge from the Dutch guest tangler Marguerite Semema.
We should draw Fragment D1 from Fragments and Reticula.
On the first tile I used D1 and Q1.
For the second one I combined D1 with Mooka and Flux.
(I did not see the tile of Marguerite yet where she also combines those tangles.)
What a coincident!

Both are drawn with brown and sepia Micron and colored with colored pencils.

Tangle "LISBON" by Henrike Bratz
What a great tangle to play with !
The first tile I did on Elefantenhaut with a brown, black and Sepia Micron and shaded with colored pencil.( Maybe you don't see Lisbon in it, but it really is the base of this tile.)
The second one (I forgot the Diva Dance) with blue and brown Micron and also shaded with colored pencils.

Tangled Heart
The challenge this week comes from Jessica Davies.
She's the first tangler who does the challenge while Laura and her family are on vacation.
My contribution is a part of an OPUS tile I am working on.
This is just a part of the tile, and I hope that next week I can show it finished.
